There have been quite a few phone OS’s over the years and obviously things keep getting better and better. I have an iPhone as my personal cell and I have whatever I want through work…as long as it’s on the Verizon network. I’ve bounced from the Droid to the Incredible now to the Droid X and I absolutely love the Droid X. Best version so far. My friends wife steals my Droid X whenever I leave it out around their house…she says her T-Mobile G1 isn’t sh*t compaired to the Droid X.

Also Danish, I can’t believe you were a fan of WinMo…so awful!

I was a hardcore WinMo fan. A few years ago, it was the only phone I could get without a data plan that had a decent calendar sync. Now that Android caught up and I have a job I'm all Android.

I'm finding it hard to hold out and I'm currently hovering over the order button for a Galaxy S. It looks as if Froyo will be coming out for the S at the end of September, anyone here using a 2.1 Galaxy S?

Anyone here with Verizon know of a way to avoid or reduce the Must Have $30 extra per month for internet? Was going to get a Devour but the extra per month would make our Family Plan Bill to much. :(

It's a Linux term by default and as Android is built on Linux it basically means - allowing you complete access to the phone instead of limited access the manufacturer and/or the network operator put on along with their software (restrictions).

Once you've rooted your Android phone, you are free to install custom ROMs offering the functionality that was blocked by the manufacturers and removing the bloat they've installed. This article might explain the pros and cons better than I did.

I've just bought an Sony Ericcson Xperia X10 Mini Pro. Had it for a few days, first smartphone and I love it. Camera is great and music has a little too much bass but very good for some of the music I listen to. I'll keep any eye out here for good apps.

Also, the best Live Messenger for droid i've found is Meebo IM. You can bring down the top bar whilst in another app to open a conversation and it's nice and simple. Only catch is that it doesn't recognize the "Busy" status. But I can live with that.

I'll be joining you lot once the Droid X has been released in the UK. If it doesn't get released in the UK I'll have to decide on the Galaxy S I9000 or something else, any recommendations?

Shit ... the Droid X is one hell of a big phone....I will have to search for permission to get my
pockets extended...:p

Have you rooted your Galaxy S at all Iisburnni?


i did have lol , i read a guide online and how it sped up the phone etc if done with moving the OS to the SD card ( i think i got that right) , however when i followed the guide it the phone got very slow and wouldn't complete the quadrant benchmark . I retried the procedure a few times and tbh i got fed up redoing the contacts lists etc and just went back to the way it was , which was with the JG5 firmware, I find it speeds the phone up nicely from the pre installed version Vodafone had , i also have a tweak to the satnav settings i found online.

il maybe try again when froyo is released as it must be my method because the good reviews online are plenty
